Xie Dingming, born in 1939 in the village Cheng thick curtain Yangxi comity Village, Arts incumbent Guangzhou poetry and literature Painting Academy, China Academy of Art Artists level the World Cultural and Arts Research Center researcher, Yangjiang Calligraphy Institute named Hermit mahogany, now honorary chairman.

He said from his hometown of Yangjiang earth out of love of artists，such as Guan Shanyue. And Xie Dingming, who grew up in the seaside painter，has been thinking about this sea Yangjiang.

In Guangdong, Yang only two of his light!

”Nanhai No. 1 group”paintings”，1, established Xie Dingming unique writing style. And renowned Chinese and foreign "desert sun Guan Shanyue" echoes, I’ll call "desert sea Xie Dingming. ”

1，heavy and desolate sense of history

Throughout the artistic characteristics Xie Dingming painting, my first feeling is heavy and its desolate sense of history.

In 2008，Guangzhou Nagai he knows "the Nanhai No. 1 group painting’’ is about to salvage and immediately return home, he spent two years in his hometown established the ’’Nanhai No 1" studios，travels more than three hundred and forty kilometers of coastline Yangjiang, also went Quanzhou and other places sketch， which lasted 3 earner, a series of 50 pieces created to reflect maritime Silk Road works. From "ancient boat - the Nanhai No. 1 group painting’’，"Shiwan kiln sites’’，"Nanhai No. 1 group painting sailed distress” and other paintings seem to see，merchant ships are at sea，the wind and waves, Quanzhou Sao solitary tower crew guided the course, Yangjiang sailing from the frequent......simplicity of drawing paper revealing a painter of historical vicissitudes sigh, then reproduced the prosperity of maritime trade，the sea can be described as a "painting.” Old Xie said, "Tliis is a reflection of history worthy of flitiire generations, I reproduce the ink through the Maritime Silk Road scene, the performance of China's maritime trade was hard......"

Xie Dingming believes that as a Chinese artist，no matter when and where they should put the country’s glorious history unfolded，magnificent rivers and mountains of the motherland drawn down, this is an artist best patriotism. So, he's always in a vast breadth of territorial waters to describe the motherland. "True Rewards sea desert map’1 to South China Sea coast desert sun painting style theme，is divided into four volumes were portrayed. Volume 15 meters long，depicting scenery along the east coast of the sun, highlighting the Tai O fishing village，Yashao eighteen seats, Pearl Bay-East attractions, modern architecture and ancient villages each other; vol 15 meters long, has written focus River City coast heavy cultural heritage, Highlights Guan Shanyue former residence the former residence of Li Qi? the former residence of Deng Lin，Rooster ancient Temple, Wenchang Temple, Lianxi College, North Tower, arcade and other cultural attractions; the third volume 15 meters long， 23 meters long fourth volume，two volumes Nongzhuangdanma combined Videos Yang West, which has the most beautiful ancient villages continents Guangdong village，Seven sages College, dadong mountain temple net industry，Tangkou castle Yangjiang first branch site, east mountain water mills and other historical attractions， of course，there dragon mountain，Wang Fu Shan and western Guangdong first peak E'huangzhang and other coastal mountains.

His "the river Barry desert map" not only tells the humanities scenery Yangjiang, Yangjiang and painted the ancient times, from the original to the entire modern history，it is the picture of the era, not only a higher aesthetic value，but also as a valuable historical materials, and with Shi Chuan. Painting scroll painting, Ping Yuan, lofty, far-reaching just the right way to use the composition as Du Fu poem ”drama king slaughtered Videos Landscape Song”： “......especially workers Moby ancient fortune，must be on the right close thousands of miles，nothing, state and fast scissors，clipping half Wusong river, "realistic landscapes and breathtaking flying history.

2，Deep and regret Hometown

The second characteristic Xie Dingming paintings, is applied throughout the hometown feeling deep regret at the event in place.

Xie Dingming load and time away from home more than fifty mountains and vegetation soul pull dream around the home, but also higher with age, hometown of love, the affection of the homeland of the more fiery. He completed the work of more than a decade，Qingli created "the river Barry desert map", "desert sea true reward map", "beautiful spring Figure" and Nanhai No. 1 group painting "paintings" and other desert sun style picture series, Yangjiang dedicated home a Thanksgiving gift. In seventies heat，whereas the continuous creation complete with a magnificent of the scroll so vast, so far it is rare in China.

Xie Dingming childhood in Yangjiang life for 11 years. Liberation，due to historical reasons，the mother took six people to leave their siblings Yangjiang. First arrived in Guangzhou，two or three years，life is very hard. He and his brother head to the site where gravel，every day from morning till night, tired back pain it can only make enough money to buy rice, fermented bean curd are two family dishes. In 1961 he graduated from the Guangzhou Institute of Education, while teaching， while engaged in art and music. Until the early 1980s, to return to their homeland was deeply moved by the beauty of the home. From the 1990s，he frequently returned Yangjiang folk songs creation, draw the "East style water"，"coumtry road", "Hometown boat" and a number of paintings. At the time, he faced great rivers and moutains of his hometown, to speak one by one painting, how to paint not what it used to, and filially decided to use the scroll to express. In 1994，he conceived "Jiang Barry desert map", originally planned only draw more than ten meters, but the paint more hometown feel also painted views of how different, as if an invisible force，pulling his paintbrush not stop, folk songs, framing, composition, creation......the past few years，he had completed a 38-meter spectacular picture!

Thereafter, they Xie Dingming rampant, and lasted five years, hell and high water，camped，68 meters long to complete the creation of four volumes of "true sea desert tour map",depicts a beautiful panoramic view of the desert sun coast natural scenery and cultural monuments. Xie Dingming said scroll painting does not map name not for profit, only to express their feelings of home, nothing more. He said that nostalgia is the deepest emotions of his life, first home of their own people that generation's feelings very deep, and very friendly; the second is living his childhood in his hometown, hometown of plants and trees make him emotionally. I thank the treasure house of an old "catch the next month were to live map", although the painting is the work of Lu Xun "home" Young runtu catch were to live in the misty moonlight scene, but not difficult to see, it is also entrusted with the author of their teenage years endless chase Myanmar. I have many times been his "home boat” impressed at the touch of color in the hands of the author deep affection for his hometown!

3，Lingnan school of painting big sea

The third characteristic Xie Dingming works that came out of the Lingnan school of painting, and the development of their artistic characteristics, the painting's subject matter also extend to the sea. Its style is fresh, ethereal, open-minded, bold and imaginative show style exudes style taste of the sea.

Xie Dingming early years of painstaking research Fu Baoshi, Zhang Daqian， Huang Biiiliong of various master skills due to copy a lot of Fu’s works, many ofliis paintings influenced by Fu Baoshi deep. Later, Guan Shanyue by the Lingnan school of painting, teaching and influencing Li Xiongcai painting masters and senior Huang Am en membership of Yangjiang. In 1999，he had just completed the "the river Barry desert map" scroll presented Guan Shanyue ask him advice，he wrote specifically for the old customs of the "Desert Sun style", and has asked him to look hometown coast style painting out. Painter has to keep in mind，as a spur and encouragement. After Guan Shanyue died, he put this off for completion of the creation of the old wishes，carry forward the "Lingnan School" Spirit to be treated.

One of its characteristics " Lingnan School" is to focus on realism in painting as a basis for continued innovative ideas. Xie Dingming understands this, every time before the creation, field visits should mingling viewfinder. On the one hand about the history, check read local county，find a local older people to understand the situation, to find familiar with local people to lead the way，listen to tour guide. Once the interview is completed, immediately finishing history, geography, filters attractions，Qucuqujing, immediately after the completion of creative ideas. In order to create "Jiang Barry desert map' he had visited on foot MO YANG source, in the rugged mountain road through the clutter and almost falling ravine! Creation of "true sea desert tour map" when the first volume, which lasted for two years, which had made him hard to waver，but the thought of the love of home, the enthusiastic support of local governments, the people, think of the old customs exhortations， or bite teeth persevered. So that most old Xie moved, to the male folk songs Sha Pa，the experience was just a unit of military exercises. He raised the possibility of visiting the way exercises，head agreed! Multi midnight back to barracks, the head of the bed to let out their old Xie slept, then he hit the ground ground floor. Faced with this situation，the old Xie dark be determined，we must come up with the best return on their work!

"Lingnan School" Characteristics of the two advocating innovation, long integrate Chinese and Western painting, maintaining the characteristics of traditional Chinese ink painting, Lingnan unique scenery rich subject matter, create a spirit of the times, it works with local characteristics. Xie Dingming works with ink-based, absorbed the artistic characteristics of Yangjiang lacquer painting by rendering method to produce three-dimensional space is clever. ’True Rewards sea desert map" can best embody its artistic style is a second volume Jiangcheng volume，fiill volume with golden yellow color, warm colors，and now many of the historical buildings unfolding, perfect layout and ideas. Volume III and IV depict dragon mountain, Wang Fu Shan Guangdong second peak Eliuangzhang and other coastal mountains，poetic dream, Bangbo momentum，such as rainbow atmosphere. On sight Cardiff Hill，gazing at the legendary stone cemented Wang Fu Female recalled the ancient "watched husband to go out，a growth Moon Ming," the joys and sorrows, through the frame of today's fishermen demonstrated the development of production, science and technology development, safety at sea life happy and peaceful event. Mount E’huangzhang vistas smoke changes, changes of the sun and moon，the author can not help but issued a "beautiful fragrance do after the storm" feeling，so ethereal paintings seem unreal，otherworldly.

It is worth mentioning that the inscriptions Xie Dingming work is also very characteristic. Because he studied calligraphy for many years, specializes in calligraphy on Kang Youwei，Shen Peng et al deeper, calligraphy solid foundation，official script, regular script, running script superb. His inscriptions main highlight three points, one will write the content, the finishing touch, so that readers see at The Painting; the second is to write their feelings through the creation or make an extension of the text screen; the third is to express their feelings, to content and form of unity, love and environmental blend of artistic realm.
